Not sure why asshat and self appointed anti fire fighter supporter jack weir is responding to this on facebook. As expected his anything but funding the district rhetoric makes no sense. He is wrapped up in supporting two clowns with a bad and illegal idea. Don’t let him fool ya. He doesn’t even live near the district and has cotton in his ears. He and his comrades Bray and Scott have been told by everyone that their plan is not feasible. The primary issue is a toss up with these people. Ignorance or selfishness is all I hear coming from their camp. No surprise that the anti tax club supports anything but a tax which would provide funding— Even at the peril of the district, firefighters and local community. Thanks but no thanks Jack!
